[Q] Is it Possible to use the full internal storage as Internal Phone Storage ?

Hi,
Sorry if its a noob question..
In Optimus 2x if i am not wrong, the internal storage is partitioned to 2+GB as phone stroage n 5+GB as Internal phone storage that acts as internal SD CARD.
Is it possible to make the entire 8GB internal as internal phone memory instead of Internal SD CARD ?
If not is it a OS Limitation or Market Limitation ?
If yes, Is there any instructions link, to do it how ?
thanks.

1. First the Reason is I can get 16 GB external for fairly cheap price.
2. I can move apps to external SD and utilize internal memory for loading games.
3. Games are downloading 600MB + data and filling the internal partitioned memory fast.
4. Management becomes much more easier.. i dont have to look for _EXTERnal folder everytime.
and many more..

Do you not have any music on your phone?
I keep all my music on emmc on cm7, i have 5gb of music so works quite nicely for me.
I use player pro music app and that picks up all music.

[Q] How to copy installed Apps to External SD in ICS (Or Gingerbread if have to)

Hi there, I know that theres a lot of posts on this forum regarding this issue but i didn't find comprehensive answer to how to move Apps to an External SD card on the G Note.
I'm not an expert with Android as I am in the transition from the iPhone, but I'm not too much of a noob as I have a bit of knowledge due to hacking and jailbreaking with the iPhone.
Now here is my problem. I have a lot of Apps that are hogging my storage and I have come to a point where I cannot install anymore Apps. When I try to copy it to the external SD card (16gb Class 10), it is actually copying it to the internal SD card. I have tried all those Apps like App2SD and I still haven't had any luck. I even tried all the tutorials on this site and still no luck.
I know there are easy methods with Froyo, but I don't want to downgrade as I am currently on "ICS(4.0.4) Stunner Beta 5.0" and it runs like a dream on the Note! If worse case scenario that I have to downgrade to achieve this, the lowest I will go back to is a factory rooted Gingerbread.
Even when I was on factory rooted Gingerbread I still had this same problem before the upgrade.

Right now the only way is to edit vold.fstab file but that will cause bigger issues with ICS and Stunner in particular
Your best hope is wait for a new version of Stunner where the internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/emmc and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and that should solve your issues completely
I read Neo talking about it and I think he will implement this structure in the next release

Thanks for the quick reply! Thats great news.. If i have to wait for a Stunner update, is there another ICS or Gingerbread release or tweak that could fix this?

I have micromax funbook with ICS 4.0.3..in my tablet internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/extsd - Even I need a solution as most HD games are huge and its usable internal memory is only around 2gb.
In my friends Samsung Galaxy S external sd card was mounted as "sd card" and we were able to move installed apps to 16gb memory card need this fix.

GL to SD. Basically it can move all/selected gameloft games to EXTERNAL SD card
Dont forget to thank if it works!!

Any solutions?
It has been 2 years. Has anyone found a solution to transfer huge games from internal SD card to external SD card..?

Try searching re-partitioning your internal memory. It increases your current 2 GB Max internal memory to 4-6-8-10 GB by reducing your internal sd card. This way you can install many apps without having to move it here n there. thread is by @metalgearhathaway.

A problem
Actually, i modified the vold.fstab file and partially bricked my tablet. It gets stuck on the booting logo and recovery console seems to be useless because the wipe data/factory reset option doesn't work. It's an A23 based 7 inch tablet for which i'm unable to find a ROM to flash it with. Any help would be appreciated. Or is there any way to re-modify the vold.fstab file to the old state? Or to reset the ROM?

Where did my storage go? Can't move or install apps

Where did my storage go Galaxy Note
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using this ROM on my Galaxy Note. After downloading my normal apps I tried to move them to SD and I get an error message stating "unable to move app. Not enough storage space"
Device memory shows: 1.6GB used
401MB Free
I have a 64GB SD card which has backups and media and the device can see and read and write to the SD Card.
When I look under settings and storage it says:
device memory:
Total space 1.97GB
Applications 1.56GB
Available : 295MB
USB Storage
Total space 11.07GB
Applications 162MB
Pictures, videos 190MB
Audio 9.31 MB
Miscellaneous files: 9.15GB
Available 6.78GB
SD Card
Total space 59.36GB
Available: 54.14
Can someone tell me why I am getting that error about not enough space. I don't understand. Is there a safe mod I can make so that I get more storage. Please assist.

Because app storage is 2GB only it is reserved even you put a 3TB ssd on it, it will not grow. Clean up some apps or search for apps2sd a application that can move SOME apps to the sd.
NOTE some apps will not run if you move to the sd or will run but they will not perform well.

Just figured it out on Friday. The 64GB card was formated FAT32. I had to insert the card and format it using the phone. Thanks

Why not Fat32

[Q] Swap Internal With External Memory On Last JB 4.3

Any Way To Swap Internal With External Memory On Last JB 4.3 ??

I'd like to know this too
Hey,
I've looked through the forums but don't seem to find a definite answer. I have a rooted (with towelroot) Xperia V, with latest official nordic update.
So as we know, the big problem with Xperia V is that no matter how big external SD card you have, you cannot install APK's on it, making you run out of space real quick. The 2GB internal extended memory shows as "SD Card" to most software and the installers. Also, many apps don't let you explicitly define the location for file saves, so the 2GB will be used for caching etc on many occasions. Moving software to "SD card" in app settings as you would normally do on Android actually just moves between the internal extended memory and phone memory, but not the actual SD card.
I want to install my APK's on the SD card, and only keep minimum stuff on the internal 2GB. How do I do this? Can I make the phone not use the 2GB and instead use the 32 gig SD card I have in my phone? Can I somehow move the already installed apps to the actual SD card as well, or do I have to reinstall them?

Hi there.
After you make your SD card as adoptable storage, you have to go back to the Storage options and choose Move Data.
This will transfer all possible data from original internal phone storage to the new internal SD card storage.
Also have a good look at this awesome adoptable storage tool which enables you to create 2 partitions on the SD card, one for adoptable internal storage and the other partition for normal SD external storage allowing you as normal to use it to store music, pictures, videos, etc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875/page23
Alternatively if you are a root user, have a look at this amazing app which will allow you to link nearly all apps to your SD card and therefore free up most of your internal phone storage.
I personally bought the Pro version from Google Play because it is that good!

Enjoy!

If you have rooted phone you could partition your sd-card to ext4 and fat32(this partition works as normal memory card).
Then you could download app like Apps2sd or link2sd and link(move) apps into the ext4 partition of the sd-card.

Download Apps2sd https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en
1. select link apps
2. Create mount script
3. Reboot
4. Link apps to sd card
Also 30GB is probably way more than you would need. Probably 2-10GB would be enough.

ok so it is better to use 10 gb for the ext4 ?
i have some question only one partition will be shown in the settings is it right ? alsow i have some trouble how i formate correc.t i have usen mini partition have made partition with fat32 and one with ext4
but when i look at apps2sd formating tool there will be 3 partitions created. one partition have name SWAP Partition. Do i need this ?
and is this tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875/page23
agood way to formate ? or is my way with mini partition manager alsow good ?
and with mini partiton manager i made all partitions as primary is it okay ?

i have used this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875 then 2 partitions will be shown but not with the correct size ii habe a 64 gb sd card but my smartphone shows 40 gb and 35 gb Oo
